At least, none of the new students had ever seen anything like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought the Machine deck wasn’t that great?\" one student asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too. I remember seeing a freshman use it during entrance exams—ranked near the bottom, maybe even Osiris Red. Pathetic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not the deck.

First, 'Twin Bike Machine' attacks!\" You Xuan said. \"This card’s effect: by reducing its own ATK by 500, it can attack directly!\" (Anime effect)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real card removed the \"reduce ATK by 500\" restriction and can attack directly unconditionally—a rare monster strengthened upon real-card conversion. But it didn’t matter: the Submarine Machine with swapped ATK\u002FDEF dealt 1800 damage; total damage output was 2900—more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Battle Phase, first comes the attack of the 'Dual-Person Bicycle Robot'!\" You Xuan said. \"This card's effect allows you to reduce your own Attack by 500 points to directly attack your opponent!\" (Anime effect)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After its physical release, this card removed the restriction of lowering Attack by 500 points, enabling unconditional direct attacks—it is one of the rare monsters strengthened upon physical release. But it doesn't matter: the Submarine with Attack and Defense Switched delivers 1800 damage with one slap, totaling 2900 damage—more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the cartoonish, almost comical little bicycle, he now saw nothing but Death itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yi classmate nearly jumped out of his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the hell is your Fusion Monster also this thing?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t Fusion players these days all go for those cool, powerful, majestic monsters? Don’t they all fight head-on like proper duels?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout this entire match, neither side has once had a proper, honorable clash of monsters.
